A jewel of nature ... - a photo on Flickriver

... in the Swiss Alps

Explore Switzerland Part 4

A cool place to enjoy the hot summer days in Switzerland. A refreshing location to be.

It was a moment of joy when we saw him: The glacial lake in the mountains of our homeland. At almost 3000m above sea level, he lay before us and radiated all his unique beauty. We were excited and happy at the same time. The hard climb to this jewel of nature was more than worth it. It's moments like these that keep motivating me to go to my beloved mountains and face some difficulties, because the beauty of nature gives us more back than we can imagine. My soul becomes calm, my heart is full of joy when I stand before such a beauty and can enjoy every minute.

My son and I share the same joy. The joy of nature, the creation of God. If both of us can experience such a moment together, it is like a gift from heaven, because we both love nature and especially the mountains in our homeland.

I would like to invite my dear friends to share in our joy a little. I thank you for your wonderful friendship, which motivates me again and again to the new, to capture the most beautiful moments in order to share with you here. Thank you so much for this.

In addition: This picture was taken a little earlier than our hike to that place this summer. The first time I was able to admire this little juvel was in autumn. The reason lies in the reflection, which is rendered more beautiful here. I really want to show you my most beautiful photos, so your joy may be a little bigger. At least I hope so.

I got this amazing video from a friend of mine. Thank you so much for it. Please my friends, have a look at it and enjoy the beauty of Planet Earth.
